Simplified Heat Engine

Fig. e - Connecting Tube

Connecting Tube

The connecting tube provides air passage from the cylinder to the chamber. A nylon cap press fits to the rear opening of the cylinder. A short brass tube press fits to the cylinder plate to connect the tube to the chamber. PVC tubing was used. Alternatives: an earlier prototype used a cylinder that mounted directly to the plate and drilled holes provided the air passage. This avoided the need for the tube but required a large rectangular cylinder housing.

"We were very pleased with the quality of the parts. We thought the software was very easy to use & were impressed with the whole process. The parts turned out very nice and were packaged well. We will be ordering from eMachineShop again. "
